"We must unite, for the survival of our kind, not yours or mine"
Cobra'Hood is the Head of the Serpent's Glaring. She rose to power at a young age, and is the only survivor, as far as most know, of the old Serpent's Glaring. She's often underestimated, due to the fragile nature of her Glaring and their small size, but Cobra has worked hard to ensure that none of the nearby groups see her as a threat to take out. Cobra'Hood comes from a lot of pain, particularly from the old Serpent's Glaring, but chooses every day to rise above it, and to push for what she believs in, even when the world is against her. She took the name of the old leader and the old group on purpose, wanting to leave behind a better legacy to wipe out the old one. Cobra'Hood is unconditionally kind, but not naive, and will always reach out to strangers in need unconditionally.

Summary
Cobra'Hood doesn't like to look at the past more than needed; she wants to move forward. She has experienced the cruelty of this world, and is strong in her convinctions that the way to survive where the humans didn't is for the cats to unite, working together and looking out for each other. She does her best, with the limited resources, to push for this message through alliances with other cats and in the way she runs her Glaring. Cobra'Hood will never allow herself to give up, no matter how many times she is hurt, and always makes sure that she is the one to suffer any consequences or cruelty before her Glaring members. She isn't naive; Cobra knows when someone is lying to her, as well as who she can reliably trust and has more knowledge than expected about the inner workings of the world. She just chooses to forge her own path away from it all.
Serpent's Glaring
The city, once a monument to the achivements of humanity, has now been abandoned by them. In the absence of their old life, the cats who remained formed new societies and rules; the Glarings. Glarings have no consistant rules between them for how they are to be run, and no cat rememebers what they used to do before humanity fell. Cobra'Hood used to belong to the Serpent's Glaring, experiencing a cruel and lawless leader before the entire group was wiped out, leaving only her and Viper surviving. While she had already been suffering, the extinction of the Glaring changed sometihng for Cobra, and she set about to remake the group, with new traditions and beliefs, ending the cycle of abuse associated with that name.
While she hasn't known Krait'Snap as long as the others, Cobra cares deeply for him. She hides it, but is relieved to have another adult she can lean on when needed, and Krait's sincerity won her trust. She can see Krait struggle to follow her ideals, but appreciates the other for trying, even if it is frustrating to fight over debt. Cobra feels guilt over putting the responsibility of Eyes onto Krait, but trusts her to care for Little Snake and others.
Cobra'Hood found Little Snake after he had been injured and took him in. She loves him dearly, and will try her best to make sure he still has somewhat of a childhood and a chance to grow up feeling loved. Cobra tends to worry a bit when it comes to Little Snake at times, but overall is honest and communicative with him, which helps both of them. She wants him to be cared for, but does not keep him ignorant or lie to him about the world.
The two have a history, but Cobra'Hod assumed it ended a while ago. She knows of his lurking around, but isn't aware of the full extent of his meddling, especially with Krait'Snap. Despite the way their negative history and Viper having left her, Cobra has a soft spot for him and their time together.
Keelback was another cat helped by Cobra'Hood, though she only fount them after they'd escaped imprisonment. Cobra and Keel have many similar experiences, and the two comfort and listen to each other. Cobra tries her best to make Keelback comfortable and extend her life, but they both know it's a matter of time. Still, Cobra can't shut her feelings off completely, and has a lot of respect and care for Keelback.
